COG matters on airplane but not so much on bike. You routinely put a lot of stuff on the back of your rack Stefan. Are you saying it dramatically changes your ride?

The SL Racing model downtube is too big. I'm picky about that - down tube should have less circumferance than water bottle imo. And why do batteries have to go in one spot in the down tube? Make the downtube smaller and have smaller battery packs located in other parts of the frame as well.

That model is close but more travel in that rear shock setup. And listening to comments - it's all about my back but I can get a bit more relaxed with slight changes to stem/bar if needed. But to have my current SL be 6 or 7 pounds lighter would be amazing. Of course - the money thing too...

For everything! Even heavy MTB

Would like to see this setup and frame as the next Vado SL. 50nm motor and 320 battery would be perfect. Maybe everything at about 26lbs or so. Have a wheel sets for mountain and general use and/or road. Ultimate machine.

40% off bleeds? Someone is getting a deal. Strange thing to have sale on. And I guess you could say, they gave you a brake on the labor. If that reads right.

So what caused the saggy brakes? I mean - if it's got fluid and you press the handle where does the energy go? And you said it's with new pads. I don't get it. Feel bad for you and Specy in a way, since they don't make the component but reflects bad on them to have 5 problems on the same system.

So the brakes are leaking fluid and that's happened twice. Wow. I've been lucky.

I haven't had any issues with my brakes. I do replace pads as needed. Dragging and soft braking sound like adjustments to me. There's just not much to a brake to break. Good luck going forward.

You've overheated your motor? Are you using the Specy app and does it give a warning?

And - Google maps shows all paved and unpaved trails. Additionally - it gives you alternate routes with mileage and time approximations. And - shows you elevation data to your destination. All on my phone. :) But none of this works unless you're riding the best bike in the world - my VadoSL.

My face unlocks my phone — let the jokes begin 😆. Google Maps is awesome for biking — it’ll route me through forests and multi-use trails like it knows what I’m thinking. And Stefan, when I use Maps, the screen stays on so I don’t have to keep logging in. The only catch is that after a long...

Not at all. Battery has lasted on all my rides. I do keep the screen off a lot of the time. The phone is resistant to water but if it pours - I do stick it in my pack. I wear fingerless gloves and touch sens gloves in the Winter. I have broke the mount on the back of the phone case during...

I use the Specy app and it xfers over to Strava after the ride. And - have a droid phone with an adaptor on back of case that fits the SL meter mount off the bars. Having the phone on bars is good imo - can navigate with G-maps and listen to satellite radio, see texts, etc..

Was going to purchase WTooth but no 42t

I don't see how that guide keeps the chain from coming off. Looks like the chain would not be able to go down so far but would still kick out

I love my SL 1.1 hum. Gives me confidence that I've got power with me. For my LevoSL with a gen 2 motor - it's quieter in general. But at lower power assistance settings it can high-pitch whine when letting off the cranks.

I have a LevoSL and at 50nm it can be 'over-powereing' on tight trails. But at 30 or 40% assistance - it's a BEAST and perfect for me. E-riding in the woods is really something to experience. Just limit your power, and you won't be a cyborg.

If I had to criticize my VadoSL in any way - it would be chain drop. I replace my chain about every 1500 miles and have changed the rear cassette twice and the front chain ring once in the bikes lifetime (about 12000m). And chain drop can still be an issue if I'm on bumpy terrain and unable to...
